All natural digestive aid with plant enzymes and probiotics. This product assists in the digestion and absorption of nutrients which are necessary to maintain good health. It relieves the extra burden placed on the digestive system, as this product breaks down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. Enzyme and probiotic supplementation is a good preventive measure to ensure good health. No lactose, sugars, or preservatives.

Digestive enzymes are special types of protein molecules that catalyze the breakdown of food into components that can be utilized by the body. These proteins are not stored in the body but are released based on the anticipation aroma or actual presence of food in the digestive system. Because they are not stored they must be taken with each meal, preferably with the food. Animal Essential's enzymes contain a blend of plant and microbial produced enzymes. None of them are from animal sources.

Each enzyme is highly specific as to the class of food it works on and the temperature and pH of its effective range of activity. Animal derived enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system, while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the whole system, from mouth through the stomach into the intestines. As the body ages less enzymes are produced and supplementation is necessary to assure optimum health.

To maintain optimum health in an animal it needs to be fed an optimum diet, but also needs to have digestive efficiency necessary to assimilate the food ingredients. The digestive efficiency can be reduced by stress of any sort, excitement , anxiety (travel separation, working stress and so on). To insure optimum digestion and health we recommend the addition of this supplement to each meal. For optimum utilization the supplement should be added to the food and should be moistened shortly before feeding to be effective.

Since Animal Essential's enzymes are derived from plant and microbial sources they are active throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract not in a specific section, as animal derived enzymes are. These enzymes are active from pH of 3 to 9 and at a temperature of about 100 Degrees Fahrenheit. Animal derived enzymes either work in the stomach at a low pH or in the intestine at much higher pH. Since ours work over a broader range they are active longer in the system at reducing the food into usable components.

The use of the product is very easy, but you have to supply your own meassuring spoon.Bought this product for my cat who always has had digestive issues. Have been using another product for over a year now, which has been very effective. Due to high demand, my regular product was on backorder, so I decided to give this one a try. Right from the start, I knew it wasn't working. My cat's stomach made gurgeling sounds again, like it used to, and his bowel movements smelled really bad. Was very disappointed. Can't wait for my regular product to be in stock again.

Our 14 year old cat was having pancreas issues. went to the vet and was prescribed a drug to help stimulate our cat's appetite. Once we had him eating again we started putting the 1/8 tsp of powder in his a.m. and p.m. feedings. No problem having him eat with this virtually odorless and tasteless med in his food. So happy this works and is a natural product. would definitely recommend to senior pet owners before any pancreatic issues start.

I have four rescues, all dogs, and I use this particularly for two of them, although I give it to all of them-just mix it in and moisten it with their daily meal. One of them has issues with skin allergies and the other with digestive issues. I can definitely notice the difference when I don't use it.

These enzymes and probiotics are a miracle for my 2 year old boxer's occasional digestive issues. No matter what food he eats he occasionally has runny bowels and growling stomach along with gas and belching (which I know somewhat goes hand in hand with being a boxer due to excess air intake). He eats Origen dry food along with raw frozen and freeze dried supplemented with onp wild Alaskan salmon oil and vitamins. I was reading how important digestive enzymes and probiotics are and spending so much money on his diet I wanted him to be getting the maximum benefits from his food so I saw animal essentials and all of its great reviews and decided to give it a try. I saw results pretty much immediately. Every potty break has been solid, small, easy to clean up, and less smelly since adding the enzymes to his food. He is 64 lbs so I just add the 1/4 tsp mixed in with his breakfast and another 1/4 tsp mixed with his dinner. Easy to use And extremely effective. He has been taking this for 3 weeks now and I have yet to see any runny bowels. I will always use animal essentials enzymes and probiotics for him

This is the best thing you can add to your dog's diet when it comes to combating allergies and digestive issues. My dog was suffering from severe seasonal allergies and I wasn't about to take her to the vet over and over for things that were only effective for a short period of time. I decided to try adding this to her daily diet. It took three days to see improvements in her skin and stool. In less than a week, all her bumps cleared up and she stopped scratching. I was stunned! In general, she just looks and feels better since I started using it. But I don't know how effective this would be on a low quality dog food; it needs to be paired with a healthy diet.

We live in the country where our dogs eat things that I would rather they did not! I use the probiotic to help regulate their digestive system. I give them 1 scoop 3 - 4 times a week and saw an improvement soon after starting this. I would highly recommend this product.

I give this to my cat in the morning I mix it in her food with her vitamins and also in the evening. I have notice a tremendous change in her stool. I will continue to give my cat this product. I have noticed a change in my cat. She seems to be happy.

I have a 11 year old Sheltie that was having serious colon problems and my Vet diagnosed her with colon stress. The last two months after visiting the groomer she come home passing blood and I was at my wits end so I started researching products to help her and found this one and read all of the reviews and decided to order it and I am glad I did. The vet put her on antibiotics which cleared her up, but she has also changed her diet to a prescription dry and wet food and along with Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics she is doing better. I have been using this product for about a month now and I find that it has really helped along with the diet change.
